Title: Small commercial job?
Post by: Dave Willis on December 17, 2014, 06:17:35 pm
Had to price one up today but some windows would have to be accessed from a fairly high flat roof. I gave them a price but said I wasn't keen on going up on the roof. Got a text back saying they are looking for more quotes and someone who will do all the windows.

Not bothered if I get the job or not but they obviously haven't considered the health and safety of the cleaner. Should they?

Not really mate, I suppose it's down to us to put a method statement to the customer in this case, if you find the customer doesn't care about your safety then show his pocket the same respect and explain the cost of a cherry picker to gain access to the window.

Send him another quote with £250 plus vat  additional costs
